Of course there can be chromatics in a sequence that is not chromatic,
as long as it is not entirely chromatic. c b c
as c a c g f e d c....b as b a b g b f e d c b... See Villa Lobos
Prelude 3 for guitar. It is not even uncommon. perhaps the definition
lacks
precision, like defining the time value of a note as its duration. ;-)
Unfortunately, this sort of thing makes writing a macro somewhat more
difficult, but it is also why it is such a better idea to do it as a
macro rather than to scramble the syntax with it.

I'm sure the original poster would appreciate it. I think this was on
-user, so I hope you don't mind. You don't like xemacs? I
thought emacs was the "official" editor. Thanks in any case. :-)
